2020 Election Night

Post by MeDotOrg »

It's over.

Dixville Notch, which opens its polling place at midnight, has voted.

Joe Biden: 5

Donald Trump: 0

There are several ways to look at this:
  • Biden seems to be doing well in all demographics in Dixville Notch ;-)
  • Biden is winning in a historic landslide of unimaginable proportions
  • Trump is only 5 votes down, with a few million to be counted
Dixville Notch voted for Hillary, so don't get your hopes up just yet.

I'm just waiting for Republican lawyers to sue Dixville Notch.

Well, it's all over but the shouting now. We can sleep easy now, knowing that Biden has won! ;)

Biden on his Dixville Notch win: 'Based on Trump’s notion, I’m going to declare victory'
Former Vice President Joe Biden joked Tuesday that his five-vote sweep of Dixville Notch, N.H., would allow him to declare victory in the presidential election, a jab at allegations that President Donald Trump might try to claim a second term in the White House before all ballots are counted.
Let's hope that MeDot's second option turns out to be the correct one.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

The comments from around the world made me tear up. The world is watching and waiting for America to speak. Me too.

Powerful and thought provoking video, Jersey Girl! More than any U.S. election in recent memory, this election will probably have profound consequences for far more of this world than just our own country.

A couple of hours after waking today, I promptly crashed for 3 more hours. Good thing too, or I would have had a difficult time looking away from the news. I think we're about to find out if America has a brain and a conscience.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em. So to speak.

I am NOT going to watch the results come in this election. I made a command decision to pull my head out of the computer (which is where I look at those things) and get on with it over here. I just returned from finishing the last of the C'mas shopping--we think. I almost never go out at night but I have to say it was refreshing!

I have let DJT consume me for the past 4 years. Regardless of the outcome, I'm moving on.

ETA: I found the AP map. That's good enough for me. If I hear any more commentary my head will explode.

America seems to have decided they'd like yet another season of the Apprentice. Entertainment seems more important than salvaging our Democracy.

Trump could pull off the electoral college votes, but Biden will have a huge popular vote lead.
